Hello and welcome strangers to my Modern World History Honors virtual notebook !
My name is Stanley Chan and I am a student-athlete at MHS. Currently, I am in the 11th grade, graduating with MHS Class of '12. As part of the grant given to the school by the Department of Education, MHS is allowing my class and other classes to be the first-time guinea pigs to virtual notebooks innovation in our city. Amazing isn't it? I get to be the pet or puppet of some higher authority -_-
Oh wells, at least that means I get to use a brand new laptop for a more modernized class :] Hmm... I have so much to say yet nothing to say. Well I think I'm a good student at MHS; I put my best foot forward in every I do, whether it is class or extracurricular activities. I have many interests as well; I'm a proud music geek as I am part of the MHS Concert Choir, Concert Band, Percussion Ensemble, and Marching Band. I'm also a proud member of the Golden Tornado Football and Lacrosse teams (ex-member of the indoor Track and Wrestling teams), Captain's Council, and will do anything for my community. Even with all my activities, I strive to be a student first and try my best to maintain my 4.0 GPA and make it into Yale or Harvard Law.
Steps for Evaluating Web Pages
1. Read the URL carefully ; identify personal pages by examining if the URL uses uncommon symbols or has personal names inside of it. Be wary that not all government or education pages are fully authentic.
2. Note publisher and see if the publisher is reliable or questionable and if it corresponds with the site.
3. Look for links that verify the information of the site. If you can't, truncate back to the orginal URL.
4. Verify and confirm ALL information. Updated or old information is not better any better than unknown information. It must be proven as facts.
5. Note the creator of the site or the certain information you are looking for. Does the author have credentials on the subject or authority to post facts on the topic?
6. Be cautious of the footnote and all of its links. Use the links and see if the sources are completely used ; there are not any forgery or fake, altered information. REPEAT STEPS to verify the links or footnotes.
7. Use tools like alexa.com or a search engine to verify the credibility of the sites you want to use. The search engines can look up the authors or creators and allow you to see their history and credibility.
8. Listen to my gut. Question the page's intention. If anything about it makes you doubt it, leave and go to another source.
